Get on the credit card game! Welcome to capitalism.
Do you have a parent or someone else who could help you set up the credit cards? Even just having someone to walk you through the options to avoid the worst payment plans and pricey add-ons.
Here's a bit on how credit cards can be helpful! (scroll down past the infographic to the big block of text; the graphic doesn't cover CC at all)

I might be shooting myself in the foot for leaving my trip up while I do this, but I'd rather be honest about it.
There was a cosplayer that I really admired. She had some really pretty costumes, had a lot of skills with make-up, and was very pretty. She seemed nice on her profiles; she didn't reply to individual comments, but she was always thanking her new watchers/followers/etc. in her notes and journals. We had similar tastes in games, and she had some costumes I really liked from series I wasn't familiar with. Even though she rarely said anything to me, I complimented every one of her costumes and thought she was awesome.
A few months ago, she got in a lot of trouble with a con organizer for telling people they didn't need a badge to go to the con and enjoy all the events the con had set up. She used all the things the con paid for, but never paid for her share of it. When she got called on telling other people not to pay either, she flipped out on every one of her profiles and basically said they were making enemies with someone who, with all accounts' followers combined, had a few thousand followers. I mean, she was a good cosplayer, but her faves and views and such couldn't touch a truly popular cosplayer like Jessica Nigri or Yaya-Han. She tried to threaten the con by telling her followers not to even go to the con and basically had a huge snit-fit about how cosplay famous she is and how the con should thank her because of the publicity she gave them.
She ended up apologizing on Tumblr for her behavior and took the offending video and other notes down, but I can't look at her the same way. As someone who looks at cosplay as a fun hobby and not a way to get "famous," her attitude towards the whole thing was just offensive to me. Ever since then, I don't like her costumes as much and I can't look at her without being disappointed in her behavior. It just really saddened me that someone I admired that was so pretty and talented ended up acting like a diva.

Why do people keep asking who this is? This is the third time I've seen it and I think she looks rather plain, and, sorry to say, not a very good Yoko because she's missing the gigantic bulbous tits. Maybe it's just me, though. I suppose I do have strange aesthetic preferences.

I don't remember what the "laws" are called but basically they ask everyone that isn't from the town and is darker than a frap to exit town or else the police won't be responsible for what happens. MFW this was not at all how they put it and I'm never going to Alabama.
